What is this food?
Carabeef round steak is a lean cut of carabao beef. It’s mainly a protein food, with very little carbohydrates and fiber.
Why it matters to health
This steak helps you meet your daily protein needs for muscle repair and keeping you full during meals. It also has cholesterol and saturated fat (saturated fat: 0.560 g; cholesterol: 58 mg per 100 g), so it’s best to pair it with plenty of vegetables and choose sensible portions. Good news: it has 0 g carbs and 0 g sugar, so it won’t spike your meal’s carbohydrate load. Sodium is relatively low (48 mg per 100 g), but the overall sodium can still rise depending on how it’s cooked (e.g., soy sauce, patis, seasoning).
Healthier tips
- For your 3 full meals + 1–2 snacks a day routine, use this as your main protein at lunch or dinner.
- Keep the portion around 1 palm-sized serving (about 80–120 g cooked) and add 1–2 cups of non-starchy vegetables (e.g., pechay, kangkong, talong, okra).
- Use lighter cooking methods when possible: grill, pan-sear with minimal oil, or stew with lots of veggies.
- Watch salty sauces: go easy on soy sauce/patis; flavor with garlic, onions, calamansi, herbs, and spices.
- Balance the plate: add 1 serving of carbs if needed (rice, kamote, or whole grains) plus fruit or a yogurt snack later.
